How comes plants and soil reached peak oi…sequestration at the very same time on a hot Friday afternoon june 15th at 5 oclock in 2008.
That’s quite the coincidence.
Now some crazy deniers may ask : How comes earth is still getting greener and greener and why is food production rising and rising after this peak
and why do greenhouses have concentrations of 1100- 1300ppm on average?
They should be removing co2 from greenhouses instead of trippling it.
And why was the Cambrian Explosion with
magnitudes more co2 the best era for evolution of plants ?
And why is there a study from 2001(good ole time when warming denial was almost legal) claiming that the abundance of landplants cooled down earths climate
(Blair Hedges,Penn State) prior to the Cambrian explosion?
And why have plants lost all these properties all of a sudden?
Did they turn woke and trans at some point in the 80ies ?
It doesn’t require erudite studies to demonstrate that plant life has a net cooling effect. The First Law of Thermodynamics (which climate science seems to believe is optional) is all you need. Photosynthesis is endothermic, otherwise energy could not be stored as sugars, wood, etc.
You mean that if
Something A
absorbs a tiny bit of something from Something B
than Something B gets smaller by this tiny bit?
Crazy – those Thermodynamic Laws.
But – of course this law does not apply to climate science.
If climate scientist A takes money from taxpayer B the climate scientist will never ever come to the result that he took something from taxpayer B and that taxpayer B is missing money.
But I must admit that I’m a bit of a climate scientist too.
I never really understood how a permanent increase in entropy could eventually result into supercomplex structures,
made of billions of parts(the structures call them cells,I think) who observe well organized region,planets,Galaxies and then come up with the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
One should think that 14 billion years should be really enough time for entropy to throw everything existing all over the place and desintegrate it.
Entropy is a metric of the reversibility of a process. This might be attributed to chaos, but like energy, at takes many forms. If the cosmos were to reach the same temperature as the stars, the situation would be irreversible; the so called heat death of the universe. As it is the cosmos seems to be a perfect heat sink.
I thought entropy was ultimately about chaos and not just increase in,let’s call it Quantity.
But in the end all processes should eventually add to more chaos(if there were no black holes and gravity as kind yang to the chaos)according to my understanding.
But I have a problem with the “Irreversable” thing.
An infinite Universe would ultimately lead to a cooling down, no matter how hot the cosmos is.
And it was in the very beginning most probably much hotter than any star now – yet it cooled down instead of staying irreversibly hot.
A finite amount of matter,according to my inner Dunning-Kruger,in an infinite Universe should be therefore cooling down for 2 reasons,
(the 2nd reason being destructive interference where waves neutralize each other)
while stars maintain their heat.
Entropy means the cooling down of energy to ZERO.
It should be impossible to get energy to zero.
This should be a contradiction as energy is the reason for above zero.
every farmer knows that their corn crop thrives in hot human weather. above average precipitation helps too and above average precipitation is exactly what we’ve gotten in South Central Minnesota. our precipitation records in St Cloud Minnesota go back to the 1880s. over the past 40 years we’ve been getting about an inch more of annual rainfall than we did in the previous 100 years. at the same time crop yields have increased.
Yes because corn is a C4 plant which responds to temperature in a different way to the more usual C3 plants. C4 are favoured by higher temperatures whereas C3 are not.
I read that headline and delivered a self-administered head slap.
No logic at all.
“Biomass Generators’ Slash & Burn Practices Slashing Natural Carbon Sequestration” is a more appropriate headline.
Follow-up headline: “Solar Plantation Developers Clearing Forests–Gaia’s Carbon Sequesters”
I always knew that science would come to our rescue. During BLM, science claimed that unmasked street protests were not nearly as covid-contagious as being in church with masks and Faucian distancing. Now science tells us that the world’s plants have decided to lose their appetite. I am confident that next week science will be able to assure us that the earth has decided to stop warming. No data needed, just a press release.
And the Earth will also spin the opposite way!
So, James Curran, the former chief executive of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, and his son Sam, perform a study and come up with findings, and the Guardian runs with the story. Who would have guessed?
When I had a garden, I never could get it to grow food in the winter. But it thrived in the Spring and Summer. Everything (including weeds – especially weeds) began to grow with lightning speed in the Spring. Then, everything began to die off in Autumn.
I think the Guardian has been duped. Either that or they’re in on it with James and Sam.
